NNAT Figure Classification 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Three figures are all large, dark-shaded triangles. Which answer choice belongs to the same group?
- A small, unshaded triangle
- A large, dark-shaded triangle (Correct answer)
- A large, dark-shaded circle
- A medium, striped triangle
Correct answer: A large, dark-shaded triangle
The group shares three traits — large size, dark shading, and triangular shape — so the correct figure must match all three.
Question 2: Three figures are each a pentagon with a dot inside. Which answer choice fits this group?
- A hexagon with a dot inside
- A pentagon with no dot
- A pentagon with a dot inside (Correct answer)
- A square with a dot inside
Correct answer: A pentagon with a dot inside
Both the shape (pentagon) and the interior feature (dot) must match to belong to the group.
Question 3: Three figures show circles that are each divided into four equal sections. Which answer belongs to this group?
- A circle divided into two sections
- A circle divided into four equal sections (Correct answer)
- A square divided into four sections
- An undivided circle
Correct answer: A circle divided into four equal sections
The defining traits are the circular shape and division into exactly four equal parts.
Question 4: Three figures are all white (unshaded) four-sided shapes of different sizes. Which answer belongs to the group?
- A shaded rectangle
- A white triangle
- A white parallelogram (Correct answer)
- A white circle
Correct answer: A white parallelogram
The group consists of unshaded, four-sided (quadrilateral) shapes regardless of specific type, so a white parallelogram qualifies.
Question 5: Three figures each show a shape with a vertical line of symmetry and stripes. Which answer fits?
- A striped shape with only horizontal symmetry
- A plain shape with vertical symmetry
- A striped shape with vertical symmetry (Correct answer)
- A dotted shape with vertical symmetry
Correct answer: A striped shape with vertical symmetry
Both the stripe pattern and vertical line of symmetry must be present to match the group.
Question 6: Three figures are each a hexagon rotated at a different angle. Which answer belongs to this group?
- A rotated pentagon
- A hexagon at yet another angle (Correct answer)
- A hexagon with one side removed
- A circle
Correct answer: A hexagon at yet another angle
Rotation does not change the identity of the shape; any hexagon regardless of angle fits the group.
Question 7: Three figures each contain two overlapping shapes where the overlapping region is shaded. Which answer fits?
- Two shapes side by side, no overlap
- Two overlapping shapes with the overlapping region unshaded
- Two overlapping shapes with the overlapping region shaded (Correct answer)
- A single shaded shape
Correct answer: Two overlapping shapes with the overlapping region shaded
The rule is overlap plus shading of that specific overlapping region.
Three figures are all large, dark-shaded triangles.
